Fox's shareholder meeting will require vaccine passports and masks

I guess that Tucker will not be attending




The Fox Corporation’s upcoming annual shareholder meeting in Los Angeles will feature something that totally contradicts its own media outlets’ right-wing editorial line: vaccination passports, mask requirements, and a variety of other COVID-19 safety measures as part of Fox’s health and safety protocols.

The company’s blatant hypocrisy is already well-documented during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fox News has undermined the Biden administration’s vaccination campaign nearly every day in a six-month period, and turned vaccine resisters into culture war heroes. At the same time, the network has practiced COVID-19 vaccine and testing requirements that are more stringent than anything mandated by the Biden administration, while also requiring masks in close quarters.

This dichotomy has played out for a quite a while, as Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch stated in a company memo on remote work that “the health and safety of our workforce has remained my priority” while he has also supported prime time host Tucker Carlson’s anti-vaccine misinformation. (And moreover, network founder Rupert Murdoch took the vaccine early on, receiving his first dose back in December 2020.)

Indeed, a person can go through the full health and safety protocols memo line by line and demonstrate the ways that the company is not practicing any of what its news network personalities have been preaching to viewers.
